Positive customer reviews – the PROs of this air bed:

I’ve had a couple of air beds before and none of them is as close as good as this SoundAsleep

holds air great, I add air only once every few weeks…

No sinking to the middle of the bed, the sides are just as firm as the center…

The pump is really as fast as they said, 3-4 minutes and it’s up…

I’m loving the comfy plush feeling of the top…

nice sides, I tuck in the sheets and they hold tight through the night…

both my wife and I are pretty big and this bed didn’t give in at all, we only add air once per week for 30 seconds…

I made this my primary bed…

why would anybody spend 10 times as much when this bed is just as comfortable as high end conventional mattresses…

no going back to memory foam for me…

I have serious lower back problems and I’ve been looking for a bed that’s just right. I found my salvation with this airbed. I adjust the firmness to the point where my shoulders and hip bone sink and my spine is aligned when side-sleeping…

I like how high and firm it is…just like a regular bed…

very easy to set up and to packs small for storage…

very friendly and efficient customer service…

Amazingly fast shipping, it was in my home the next day…

Almost no leaking, exceeded all my expectations…

very well made, that’s obvious right out of the box…

Holds it’s firmness for days without re-inflating…

The CONs as per the customers:

one of the seams popped…I returned it and waiting for a replacement…

spreads a plastic odor around the room…luckily, it faded in a few days…

My reviews digest:

It scored 96 out 100 in the Overall Quality rating when I was writing the full review for this bed. It was one point short of a Whammy (just a term I use for 100/100 score, which I don’t think I’ll ever give). I deducted some point for design and minor things that don’t really take anything away from the fact that this is the best rated product (if we don’t count the luxury area) on the website. It’s also one of the best rated beds on Amazon in any size and category.

One thing that I really don’t like – it runs out of stock almost every day.

I guess the company wasn’t prepared for the market demand, or frenzy which is a better word for what’s going on right now.

It can be in your living room tomorrow – One of the best offers I found on this bed was onAmazon.com.

Serta EZ Bed – Queen inflatable bed

Audrey Hepburn amongst beds, this one is a real eye candy, slick and stylish. But if you want all the compliments that go with it (and a bit of envy, and who doesn’t like that :)) be prepared to splurge a little since this high end inflatable comes with a price.

It’s fun just watching it inflate and deflate.

Let’s see why it’s one of the best rated inflatable beds on the market.

The specifications:

features a patented “never flat “pump for fast inflation and deflation

CONs as per the users:

My reviews resume:

I did a lot of research on this one and although I’ve seen some reports on air leaks (which would be unforgivable at this price range, if it was a true product issue).

Over the years of doing these reviews, I’ve developed a precise system to determine whether something is a real product defect. It takes time, but I count the positive and negative reviews and see if it meets the criteria I’ve set.

This one certainly does. If someone was to receive a Serta EZ that leaks, that’s an exception and a case of the product flawed out of the factory or getting damaged in the mail. I stand behind these words. You just return that piece and get a replacement, because the model is high end and we can’t have that.

Overall – pricey , but worth it.

Insta Raised Bed with Never Flat Pump

No need to ever think about adding air to this one. The pump is designed to stay on at all times and air when it “recognizes” that the bed has lost some air it just adds a little. You don’t even notice, you just feel the result – the bed stays at your desired firmness at all times.

This Insta is one of the air beds I own, and I love it. I will do my best to keep everything spotless and unbiased in this review and look it with a fresh sets of eyes of the other users.

Let’s get to it and see why this baby is one of the best rated air beds out there:

The specifications:

NeverFlat AC pump inflates and deflates it in minutes

adjustable firmness

extra height adds comfort and makes it is easy to get in and out of bed

soft plush top

comes with a carry bag

As I promised, let’s look it with a fresh set of eyes.

The PROs of this inflatable as per the users:

I love the extra height, just like a regular bed…

One thing less to worry about, you just inflate it once and forget it…very smart…

firm edges, no sinking to the middle when 2 people sleep on it…

Very good product, great craftsmanship…

Both hubby and I are pretty big and we’ve been sleeping on this bed for 4 months now. I can highly recommend it, very comfortable, and we only add air once or twice a week…

the soft finish of the top holds the sheet in place, no slipping…

nice and firm, I experimented with it and found just the right firmness…

The CONs as per the end users:

My review resumes:

I’ve had this bed for years, and it’s still my main camping bed. I just love the fact that I can just run the pump and forget about adding air.

As one of the other users said, one thing less to worry about.

Solid 87/100 stars from me.

Intex Deluxe Pillow Rest Raised Comfort Queen

A great budget solution and the best rated air bed in its price range. This inflatable costs a few times less than some on of the other models on this list. One of the best quality/price balances I’ve seen in an inflatable.

My review summary:

With this inflatable, Intex was going for a budget solution that would still be comfortable enough and not loose air like some of the products in its price range.

Most of the other beds priced at this point are garbage, forgive me for being blunt here. That’s why this bed has been holding it’s ground on the market for years.

There are much better beds for sure, but this is a solid budget-friendly choice:

I did my best to find the best deals on this bed – you can see them here.

AeroBed Comfort Anywhere 18″ inflatable with headboard

A headboard in an inflatable bed…why didn’t more people think of it.

It adds that little something that makes the difference between sleeping on an air bed and a regular mattress.

No matter how solid and well made an air bed is, if you have to put it in the middle of the room, you’ll probably end up chasing your pillows through the night. Especially if you are a restless sleeper.

12 thoughts on “Top 5 Best Rated Queen Airbeds”

the reason I have not by dealing that much with Fox airbeds is that I don’t have enough data. Some of the beds that I have reviewed here I purchased for testing but I just don’t have the money so i Just buy the best ones for that. Otherwise, the reviews rely on what other users had to say about the beds. To do this, I have to have a wider base of sources of customer reviews…like Amazon and i believe they are only present there with one bed.

I am keeping a close eye on things and will include them as soon as I get enough of a sample to make a fair judgement and rating.

The models that you can see here are all pretty much the same height and the small differences there are not likely to make one so much better for getting in and out. For that, it’s the internal chamber construction that will make the most difference.

If I was you I would go with the SoundAsleep Dream Series that’s on top of the list…

Trying to determine the best choice between Queen sized Insta raised Bed, front gate ez bed inflatable with constant pump and Serta Raised Bed with never flat pump.
They have all the same features. I read the above comment about preferring Insta bed over Serta. How do you decide among these 3?

Thanks for getting back to me James. I’ve been trying to decide between a sofa that has a pull out queen bed or to go the inflatable bed route. The bed won’t be used all that often, but comfort is important for my guests. Any thoughts?

Hey Amy, if you get it right with an air mattress there’s no comparing the two in terms of comfort. With the chamber technology used in air mattresses today most of them are as comfortable as conventional mattresses, let alone a pullout sofa. So, if comfort is a decision point, I would go with a nice mid-priced air mattress..

I’m interested in purchasing the Serta Never flat Air bed. How long does it take to inflate and deflate? Also, is it the exact same bed as the Instaraised Bed with Never flat bed? Thanks for your input.

Hi Amy, Serta Never Flat is a solid choice. About your question – if you ask Serta they would say 2-3 minutes but I would say more like 3-4 minutes. The good thing is that it stays inflated even without the small pump on (the one that gave it the Never Flat name). All these companies are in kind of a rat race with models and features, so it’s not the same bed, it’s similar features, similar quality, similar price point coming from two companies.

If you’re asking me, I would be a bit more inclined towards Insta if I had to choose…
